TOILET narrow.

Application willed February 12, 1926. Serial No. 87,812.

The objects of this invention are to provide a. toilet article utilizing strips of individual make-up units; to prov de a case wherein thesaid strip of makeup units may berrmnovably carried and replaceable when the units are used up; to provide means for preventing the make-up units from coming in contact with or disfiguring said case; to enable the case to be opened wide without W discharging said make-up units; to permit said make-up units to be in one or more,

rows; to enable the' base portion of the make-up units to be removed after the units have been torn away so that a new set of units may be inserted; to provide for d splay of printed matter on the strip of units being visible even while the case is closed; to secure simplicity ofconstruction and use;

and to obtain other advantages and results of make-up units positioned therein; and

Figure 6 is an edge view of a still further modified construction.

In the specific embodiment of the invennumeral 1 indicates in general a case having a base portion 2 and cover sections 3, 3. The base is constructed as a suitable elongated'pocket fl, for receiving the base portion of a filler 5 preferably including a strip 6 of make-up units 7, said units projectin upwardly from the base so as to ,be include between covers 3, 3 when the same are closed. The strip and make-up preferably integral and. of cardboard or some other material easily torn: and yet having strength enough to enable the units to be used when torn off. In use, the units are torn out one at a time ,for individual application, and are then thrown away, and when the ,whole seriesof units have been thus used case used in connection with my to use.

f one cover section of Figure 4 with. the strip tion illustrated in said drawing, reference units aretheremaining portion of, the filler from from the base 2 of the case 1, and a'new filler inserted.

As'shown more particularly in Figures 1 and 2, the covers 3, 3 are hinged to the upper edge of the base, and the middle portion of the, base may be cut away, ifso desired, as at 8, which will result in exposin thebasc of the filler to view so thatprinted matter thereon, such as the trade name of the filler, may be seeneven while the covers 3, 3 are closed. The upper edge of the covers-3, 3 may be suitably shaped to interlock for holdin the same closed except when the article 1s in use.

Each make-up unit preferably has a tip 9 of a suitable toilet'accessory, such aslipstick, rouge, perfume and so forth. In order to prevent this tip from engaging the cover of the case, the strip 6 preferably has which the units have been torn will be taken a guard 10 attached omeach side thereof,

said gua (1 extending opposite the tips and interpose between the same and the covers. An appropriate spacer 11 is inserted between the strip 6 of units 7 a and said spacer under normal conditidns likewise will pre-. vent the uard from engaging the tip. The tip there ore not only retains its given shape and appearance, but the entire article when opened is neat and attractive and ready [While I have indicated above that the:

"covers are hinged to the upper edge 'of the base of the case, this part of the description refer the purpose of being definite and not ntended to be restrictive of the invention. The covers may be hinged elsewhere than at the top of the base, and as illustrating this difference, covers 12, 12 are shown in Figure 3 which are hinged to thebottom of a base 13, the base being included between the covers, when the covers are losed. Furthermore, the use of guards u ch as described in connection Wlth Figure 2 may be varied, one such variation being illustrated in saidFigure 3 wherein-the-filler, 14 pro vides a'strip of make-up units 15 which do not have any guard or separator between them and the cover. However, the tips 16 offsaid make-up units are prevented from engaging the cover by a spacer 177 which in this instance comprises an inwardly bent extends in a direction flatwise of the strip and transverse to the several units so it will engage the several units of the strip below the tips 16 and space the said tips away from the cover and accordingly constituting a spacer equivalent to the spacer shown in F igure2. In this same view, furthermore,

I have shown that it is within the scope of the invention to include more than one row of make-up units, and for illustrative pursposes have included two rows or strips of units 15. The tips of the units of thetwo rows are held from each other by one or more spacers 18' which preferably are gattached to the strips between the sameand 15- extend substantially to the tips .16.

As a further modification it 15' within the scope of my invention to provide a hollowed out portion in the covers opposite the makeup tips so as to prevent said tips from con- Q tacting with said covers. Illustrative of a this feature of my invention, I have shown a case in Figures 4 and'fisimilar to that described in connection-with Figure 3, said case in this instance having covers ,19, 19

, hinged to a base 20 for filler 21 having units 22 with tips 23. The covers each have -a transverse outwardly directedibead or hollowed out portion 24, which, when the covers are closed, will be, oppositeto the' tips 23 and the body of the cover will therefore en-.

"gage the stems of theji'nits below the tips Should it be r be hinged for that purpose. Su'ch'a conisti uction is shown in Figure 6, wlferein the end'wall 25 of the base is fixed with respect f, to hinges 26,- 26, said hinges in the present showing, mounting both covers 27, 27 'and- 7 ,base side walls 28, 28. v The covers may be' 1. swung outward-to gain access to the units swung outward, as shown in dotted lines, ,at

within, and the base side walls may also be j whiehvtime the filler base may be withdrawn.

Obviously other detail changes and modifications may' be made in the construction and use of my improved toilet article, and

I .do not. wish'to be understood as limiting myself to-the exact structuremshown except as set'forth 'in the following c -ims when construed in the light of the prior art.

Having thus described my invention, I claim v 1. toilet article comprising a base having an elongated pocket for reception of the base of a filler, and covers hinged to said base adapted to close together and enclose said filler therein. i

2. A toilet article comprisinga base having an elongated pocket for reception of the base of a filler, and covers hinged to the bottom of said base of the article adapted to close together filler. v

3. In a toilet article the combination with a filler having tipped unitsof a case thereing the tips from contacting with said covers. v

4.- A toilet article case forstrips of tipped units, comprising means for mounting said units in the case, a hinged cover -for said case, and means for retaining the tips out of contact with the said cover. 7 5. A toilet article case for stripsof tipped units, comprising means for mounting said units inathe case, and a spacer for retainin the-tips of the units out of contact from the walls of the. case, p I

6, A toiletartiele case for strips of tipped units, comprising'means for mounting said units inthe case, rand a bead in, the wall of the case transverse to the units for preventi'ng contact of the said tips with the wall.
